Government Fleet announced the rankings for the top 20 of the 50 Leading Fleets and recognized the remaining award recipients at the Government Fleet Expo and Conference (GFX) on May 22. Ford Pro sponsored the award, which is coproduced with the American Public Works Association.

Fleets are judged on showing leadership with staff, with customers, and within the community; staying efficient and competitive; overcoming challenges; and having a vision and direction for the operation.

Government Fleet also named the No. 1 fleets in size categories — the No. 1 mid-size fleet (500-999 assets) is Lynchburg, with approximately 731 on- and off-highway vehicles, and the No. 1 small fleet (499 or fewer assets) is Forest Preserve District of DuPage County, with approximately 350 on- and off-highway vehicles.
